An asynchronous induction motor designed for use on a converter is significantly more compact and sturdy with a higher standard of concentricity than a conventional three-phase induction motor. It has incremental encoders for speed-controlled operation and is available with absolute value transmitters for positioning applications. Transmitter-free operation is also possible in more basic applications.

In addition to their performance properties, SIMOTICS M main motors convince through an excellent design and outstanding ergonomics. SIMOTICS M-1PH8 motors have won the iF product design award 2012.
